Garden expert's best tip to protect grass from dog urine – but you need to act fast

Whether or not you have pets, it's not always possible to stop animals such as cats and dogs urinating in your garden. The stale smell can be particularly hard to get rid of, but it can also damage your grass, which isn't ideal.

The Mirror has spoken to various garden experts to compile the best advice for getting rid of dog and cat urine from your grass – and they all agree you need to act fast.

Steve Chilton, gardening expert from Leisure Bench, told The Mirror: "Dog and cat urine can be a nightmare on grass. It will gently kill it, turning your grass from green to yellow and then a dark brown patch. It can be difficult to re-grow that one piece of grass so that it blends perfectly with the rest of your lawn, so protecting your grass in the first place and acting on urine as soon as possible is always a great idea to prevent any damage."
